The Only way TO Conquer Dys.
pepsia.

It is perfectly preposterous to introduce
pepsin and other artificial solvents into the
stomach in the expectation that they will
assist digestion by acting on the food itself;
they Will not. Nor Is it possible thus to
overcome dyspepsia. The only way to con-
quer that disorder and prevent the numer-
GUS diseases and disabilities which 1t as.
suredly provokes. is to renew the activity of
gastric action by strengt uening the stom.
